that is who is heading up the paul ryan part of the romney/ryan campaign. senor also sits on the board of directors as something called the foreign policy initiative. they've got four people on their board. one is dan senor. two of the other four people are special advisers to the romney campaign. these guys. and yesterday that group headed by the top staffer to paul ryan and two other romney/ryan advisers called for an american war in syria. you ready for another american war in the middle east? this is a presidential campaign that neither side wants to be about foreign policy. even president obama does not want that because there are hard questions to be asked of him about why we're still in afghanistan and the kill list and drone strikes and all the rest. but the romney/ryan campaign has not been capable of asking those questions. they haven't even bothered to come up with a legible policy on the war we are already in. so anybody who wants hard questions asked of president obama on foreign policy, it just hasn't happened yet. and anybody who was freaked
